FoxA1 is a 473aa, 49kD (predicted) protein of the forkhead nuclear transcription factor family. It regulates transcription downstream of the estrogen receptor and other steroid hormone receptors. FoxA1 is expressed in breast luminal cells and correlates with proliferation in breast cancer cell lines. Within the sequence used as an immunogen, human FoxA1 shares 93-86aa identity with mouse and rat FoxA1, respectively.
